I have the Ultimate Collection. My problem is that I get an error message saying I lack memory every time I try to start the game, and I have no neighborhoods. I know about the 4GB patch, but I'm missing a "Game" folder in my installation.

You are not missing any folders there, they are the same ones I have. Have you done the graphic rules? If you have a newerish graphics card (so far we have noticed issues with GTX960 and above) you will still have to alter files by hand.

Make sure the video card and graphic rules files are correct, and to put them in both the Config and CSconfig folders. That could be the cause of the memory error (it just isn't picking up the graphics card) As for no neighborhoods, this fix works for that.
You need to open regedit (Window+R) and open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE then SOFTWARE

Before doing anything have you tried to repair game in Origin? Warning: repairing game sets all of its files back to original form. So make copies of any folder you have already changed, including the .exe if you used the 4gb patch.
